The university is now a comprehensive, global institution of higher education, with its main campus in Union. Serving a richly diverse enrollment of more than 16,000 undergraduate and graduate students, Kean’s mission is to provide an affordable, accessible and world-class education that prepares students to think and respond critically and creatively in a rapidly changing world.
The university continues its legacy as a top producer of teachers in New Jersey and is a growing educational hub in the fields of business, health care and technology. Its five undergraduate colleges – the College of Business and Public Management, the College of Education, the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Natural, Applied and Health Sciences, and Michael Graves College – offer more than 50 undergraduate degrees over a full range of academic subjects.
